In this paper, the G\"{o}del-type solutions within the k-essence theory are investigated. The consistency of field equations, causality violation and existence of closed timelike curves are studied. The conditions for existence of G\"{o}del…
The linear stability of closed timelike geodesics (CTGs) is analyzed in two spacetimes with cylindrical sources, an infinite rotating dust cylinder, and a cylindrical cloud of static cosmic strings with a central spinning string. We also…
In this paper, the G\"{o}del-type universes are examined within the framework of unimodular gravity. Since the existence of G\"{o}del solutions is intrinsically related to the presence of a cosmological constant in general relativity, one…
An analysis of the solutions for the field equations of generalized scalar-tensor theories of gravitation is performed through the study of the geometry of the phase space and the stability of the solutions, with special interest in the…
In this paper, we study the geodesic deviation equation (GDE) within the context of the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory in $D$ dimensions. Then, we restrict our attention to the GDE for the fundamental observers and null vector field past directed.…
Scalar-tensor theories have drawn the attention of cosmologist for the past few years because they can provide mechanism to explain the observable phenomena. Moreover, the results of scalar-tensor theories can be applied in higher-order…
In unimodular-like theories, the constants of nature are demoted from pre-given parameters to phase space variables. Their canonical duals provide physical time variables. We investigate how this interacts with an alternative approach to…
We study the structure and stability of spherically symmetric Brans-Dicke black-hole type solutions with an infinite horizon area and zero Hawking temperature, existing for negative values of the coupling constant $\omega$. These solutions…
In a Brans-Dicke (BD) cosmological model, the energy density associated with some scalar field decreases as $\displaystyle a^{{-2}(\frac{\omega_{o}+ {\frac12}%}{\omega_{o}+1})} $ with the scale factor $a(t)$ of the Universe, giving a matter…
G\"odel universe, one of the most interesting exact solutions predicted by General Relativity, describes a homogeneous rotating universe containing naked closed time-like curves (CTCs). It was shown that such CTCs are the consequence of the…
We consider a string-inspired, gravitational theory of scalar and electromagnetic fields and we investigate the existence of axially-symmetric, G\"{o}del-type cosmological solutions. The neutral case is studied first and an "extreme"…
We propose a time-varying parameter $\underline{\alpha}$ for G\"{o}del metric and an energy momentum tensor corresponding to this geometry is found. To satisfy covariance arguments time-varying gravitational and cosmological term are…
Solutions to flat space Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in Brans-Dicke theory with a cosmological constant are investigated. The matter is modelled as a $\gamma$-law perfect fluid. The field equations are reduced from fourth order to…
The stability criteria for the generalized Brans-Dicke cosmology in a spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic cosmological model is discussed in the presence of a perfect fluid. The generalization comes through the channel that the…
We study the inhomogeneous cosmological evolution of the Newtonian gravitational 'constant' G in the framework of scalar-tensor theories. We investigate the differences that arise between the evolution of G in the background universes and…
We analyze the cosmology of a general Scalar-Tensor theory which encompasses generalized Brans-Dicke theory, Gauss-Bonnet gravity, non-minimal derivative gravity, generalized Galileon gravity and also the general k-essence type models.…
The bumblebee field coupled with gravity is considered. This gravitational theory exhibits spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry. The G\"{o}del-type universe is introduced and then the causality and its violation are studied. Causal and…
Extensions of the gravitational framework of Brans-Dicke (BD) are studied by considering two different scenarios: i) `BD-$\Lambda$CDM', in which a rigid cosmological constant, $\Lambda$, is included, thus constituting a BD version of the…
The existence and stability under linear perturbations of closed timelike geodesics (CTGs) in Bonnor-Ward spacetime is studied in some detail. Regions where the CTG exist and are linearly stable are exhibited.
In this paper we study G\"{o}del universe in the framework of $f(R,T)$ modified theories of gravity, where $R$ is the curvature scalar and $T$ the trace of the energy momentum tensor. We demonstrate that G\"{o}del solution occurs in this…
